Why this wine
Old dry-farmed Maule fruit from a producer bottling by site rather than blending across regions. Savoury and firm, with none of the polish of warmer Chilean Cabernet.
Our advantages:
Description
How it tastes
Expressive and full-flavoured, this benchmark Chilean Cabernet delivers layers of ripe blackcurrant, spice, and earthy minerality, framed by refined tannins and a long, savoury finish. Expressive bouquet of blackcurrant, red cherry, and plum interwoven with subtle spice, warm earth, and cedar notes from French oak ageing. Concentrated and balanced, with layers of cassis and blackberry supported by hints of tobacco, graphite, and dark chocolate. Firm but polished tannins and a mineral core lead to a persistent, elegant finish. Contains sulphites.
